We LOVE birthdays at the Fire Station!!!

For some reason Madi's birthday always seems to fall on a day that Dad works!

But she is totally fine with that cause she loves going to the station for her Birthday!!!

We made some banana bread for the guys.

The kids played on the fire trucks, as usual.

Slid down the pole, like always.

A trip to the Fire Station never gets old!

Madi had a fun day.

Pretty boring, but relaxing to begin with.

Her best friend Kara, and her family, came to wish her a Happy Birthday.

Then when the little ones woke p from their naps we headed to the station.

Afterwards we went to Target, where Madi wanted dinner.

And then she picked out a pair of shoes for school.

I think she had a pretty good day.

Next week is going to be the big celebration!

Getting baptized!

CrAzY!!!

Madi opening the present from Cass.

It was a journal and it matches her scriptures.

You can't tell me that he's not gonna turn out to be a fireman, right!!!

Daddy with Elsie up on the truck.

By the way, I need to toot Brent's horn...since he won't do it.
After months of studying...getting ready for the Captains test, then having it rescheduled for several reasons, (one being a nail in the hand) he was finally able to take it last Monday.

Well, he passed, and we are so very proud of him.

This means that he now can swing up as Captain when his Captain is gone.

This is a great thing, that also comes with a lot of responsibility!

We are very proud of him and the hard works he does for his Family!!!

This is also a present from Mom and Dad.

So the plan for last night was to have her friends Kara and Aubree sleep over.

Then everyone got sick.

But I still talked Madi into sleeping in the same room with Cassi and Elsie for a fake sleepover.

This was we were able to sneak in her room after they were asleep and install her new headboard that we made for her.

It is an old door that I put covered fabric squares in the holes and then Brent put crown molding on the top.

I think it looks so cute and now I can't wait to make the quilt that I am planning.

(just another project...hmmm...)

So Madi woke up this morning and went to her room to find her brand new headboard.

Anyway, pretty cute huh!
